The Proceedings of the Conference will be published in a (strictly refereed) special volume in the AMS series Contemporary Mathematics, edited by C. Athanasiadis, V. Batyrev, D. Dais, M. Henk, and F. Santos .

Those participants who are interested in submitting a paper for the special volume, are kindly requested to contact one of the organizers by e-mail (manuscripts should be submitted electronically by November 30, 2005). Included with the footnotes to the paper should be the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification representing the primary and secondary subjects of the article. The Mathematics Subject Classification footnote may be followed by a list of key words and phrases describing the subject matter of the paper.)

For paper style please use amslatex and follow the AMS instructions. Click on "amslatex Contemporary Mathematics (Proceedings)" towards the bottom of the page to retrieve the style files.

The submissions should contain either recent original research relevant to the themes of the Conference or an exposition of new developments in a particular field of focus, and should consist of a paper and an abstract. The paper can be either a full paper  with complete proofs or an extended abstract of at least 4 pages containing full results, an outline of the proofs and all of the main ideas. The paper and the abstract should be in English.
The abstract will be used to organize the refereeing, and should give sufficient details to understand the significance of the contribution and address the paper to a proper referee. (A bad abstract might result in a wrong choice, and cause the rejection of an otherwise acceptable contribution.) Already published papers or papers submitted elsewhere are not acceptable.
